“JFL is a strong player in the QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) industry, with >1,100 stores. Therefore, it commands a high valuation, despite its uninspiring performance in the past. We expect JFL’s performance to improve in ensuing quarters,” analysts at HDFC Securities said in Q1FY18 results review.
Closure of loss-making stores could improve JFL’s margin in the coming years. We expect efficient store expansion to result in improved SSG. We anticipate 6.5% SSG over FY18-19 (earlier expectation 5.5%), added report.
